Panihers gei winning jump
on 90-91 basketball season

A pre-season toumament vic-
tory put the Parkland senior girls’
basketball team on the right foot
for the 1990 season.

The Parkland team handily won
all three of its games to finish top
in a Peninsula schools invitational
tournament, which was held at
Parkland and Stelly’s schools on
Friday and Saturday.

Parkland beat Kwalikum 57-46
in the final of the event.

“We played really well in the
final and throughout the tourna-
ment,” coach Margaret Metcalfe
said.

“We've got a good shooting
team and a couple of really big
people for rebounds. I think the
players will work well together and
look to each other during games,”
she said.

In earlier action, Parkland
brushed aside Claremont by 57-28
and dumped Chemainus by 76-21,
she said.

Leading the scoring for the
Panthers was Joleen Hook, who
notched up 57 points in the three
games.

Genea Grist scored 38 points,

while Natasha Kipot and Lesley
Lutes each scored 12 points.

“We've got a pretty strong team
and should do well in AA league
action this season.

“We should be able to make it
into the top three,” Metcalfe said.

Stelly’s didn’t fare so well. The
Stingers posted two losses and onc
victory in the six-team tourna-
ment.

Coach Peter Mason said the
relatively young and inexper-
ienced team lost 77-38 to Kwali-
kum and 67-48 to Ladysmith.

But the Central Saanich team
finished the tournament on a
brighter note with a 49-13 win
over Chemainus.

Leading the scoring for Stelly’s
was Erin Barber, who amassed 53
points. —

Mason said he expects this to be
a development year for his team
but that four-year veteran Jean
Lynn should provide some valua-
ble leadership for the Stingers.

“I don’t see that we'll do any-
thing dramatic this year. We just
